Flopcast episode 711! It’s our annual holiday spectacular! And once again we’re talking about old Christmas cartoons, because that’s all we care about. But this time, we’re looking at a couple of cartoons we’ve never discussed on the show before, and they’re both based on classic comic strips. (They’re also both on YouTube, if you want to play along.) From 1979, A Family Circus Christmas features a ghost Santa, a candy cane farm in the clouds, a busty mom, and plenty of crazy jazz flute. And from 1982, Ziggy’s Gift features the scrawny tree from Charlie Brown Christmas, the Irish cop from Frosty the Snowman, a creepy gray guy, and a million screaming turkeys. Both are magnificent. Also: A glitter bomb Christmas card from Panda! A Manos: The Hands of Fate Christmas card from Jacob! A lost Ziggy pencil sharpener! A lost TV show described as “Mission Impossible meets The Love Boat”! And the Mighty Morphin Figgy Pudding Pages! So please throw up the sash, turn with a jerk, and enjoy. #familycircus #familycircuschristmas #ziggy #ziggysgift #eso #esonetwork #geektalk #geekpodcast #geek #nerdtalk #nerd #nerdpodcast #podcast #flopcast
